The Personal Representative (formerly known as Executor) of an estate or Trustee of a trust has fiduciary duties. If the Personal Representative or Trustee has a conflict-of-interest or is expected not to handle financial matters appropriately, and if you believe someone else should be placed in charge, you have the right to object to the named person’s appointment to the role. If the Personal Representative or Trustee provides an inventory or accounting that seems inaccurate, or does not handle the estate or trust thoroughly or economically, you have the right to challenge whatever financial figures are presented to you.
